Abstract
This paper proposes a simple and efficient PI controller for single-phase grid-connected PV generator. The controller ensures the system operation at maximum power point (MPP) irrespective to atmospheric conditions. A detailed design of the controller and DC capacitor were carried out. An average-value model was developed to facilitate the design of the controller and to study the system performance under different operation conditions. The results were validated by rigorous simulation.
